ordinary rests

Full bar rests (also called ``pauses'') are coded as normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\pause; smaller rests are normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\hpause (of duration equal to a half note), normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\soupir (duration equal to a quarter note), normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\dsoupir (duration equal to an eighth note, also normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\ds), normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\quartsoupir (duration equal to an sixteenth note, also normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\qs), normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\huitsoupir (duration equal to an thirtysecond note, also normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\hs), normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\seizsoupir (duration equal to an sixty fourth note, also normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\qqs).

Long rests (lasting several bars) can be coded as normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\PAuse and normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\PAUSe, which respectively yield:
